Guard duty, so routine
To upkeep good conduct adds nothing to my value in the army
If one is physically strong and have a quick thinking
He would be one step ahead of others
During this 3 months of attending status 'B'
I have learnt, I have seen
That other than possessing leadership qualities and good physical attribute
Well behaviour and self-discipline are invisible to the top management
Maybe these characteristics were already expected to be imbued in each soldier
Not true
Are those people I saw, those that once I have trained with
Really compatible to be who we can rely on in times of need
Will they shed blood to save this land
I really doubt it
Young and rowdy, ill-disciplined, alcoholics and gluttons
The society has forced the general population to alter
Only for what I deem is negative
The defence force has somehow adopted the some say 'no fish, meat also can; no chicken, duck will do' mean
(Due to dropping population and urbanization?)
Of allocating men into each vocation to train them to fight
Only sad to see that this motion applies to my vocation as well
Farewell, red beret...
It has never been the place I wanted to be, not say staying
I may not have the pride to don the legendary-so-as-to-say headdress
But I wish the top can see that their troops have nothing to boast too
